.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 0212 AM CDT Fri Jun 13 2025/

...Synopsis...
A belt of southwesterly flow aloft with an embedded shortwave trough
will be situated over the northwestern CONUS during the day. This
will provide the focus for fire weather concerns, with the strong
flow aloft mixing down due to strong surface heating, producing
gusts of 25-30 mph across parts of northwestern Nevada. This will
occur in the presence of 10-15% RH for several hours. Fuels in this
area are fairly dry, so have maintained the Critical area across
parts of northwestern Nevada. Similarly, modestly dry fuels along
with gusty winds and 15-20% RH will result in Elevated fire
conditions across portions of the Columbia Valley in Washington and
Oregon.
